What this is

Just something a little different from the usual Karoo, Cederberg, Tankwa.

The full notes, the warnings and the waypoints come with the download, along with the GPX and KML files. It’s free — you just need an account, so the guide stays in your library and you hear about it when the author changes something.

Sign in and it’s yours — the warnings, the notes, the track, and every update they make to it. There’s nothing to pay. They uploaded it for the community, and their name stays on it.

These roads are public and anyone may ride them. A route guide is one rider's guide to riding one — never a permit, and never access to private land.

This is somebody's work, given to the community. They rode it, recorded the line, and wrote down what they found — the gates, the sand, the water crossings, the section that closes after rain. You get their file and their notes for nothing, and you skip the evening spent drawing a route off a satellite photo and hoping.
